The belief that humans came out of Africa millions of years ago is widely believed. But it might be about to be entirely re-written, according to the authors of a new study.

They claim to have found a footprint in Crete that could change the narrative of early human evolution, suggesting that our ancestors were in modern Europe far earlier than we ever thought.

That's some welcome news, thanks!

New footprint finds on Crete challenge our understanding of when humans began walking upright

Over and over again the established narratives of early human evolution get challenged by new discoveries. Such was the case earlier in 2017 when human fossils excavated at Morocco’s Jebel Irhoud site turned out to be 100,000 years older than the previously oldest-known remains found in Ethiopia.

The fossil discovery was major, and it shook the basis of the human-evolution narrative, providing factual evidence that modern humans did not originate 200,000 years ago in the eastern parts of Africa. One more discovery, but this time of footprints bearing a human-like form, found in the western parts of Crete, further questions the chronology of the evolution narrative.

The Trachilos footprints, as they are designated, are the subject of the freshly published study Possible Hominin Footprints From the Late Miocene (c. 5.7 Ma) of Crete? which is authored by a group of international researchers. According to the study, the prints are roughly 5.7 million years old, and they are unusual for their notable human-like features, suggesting their maker was probably walking upright.

It was Gerard Gierlinski, lead author of the study, who accidentally stumbled on the prints while staying on Crete for a vacation in 2002. A distinguished paleontologist from Poland, Gierlinski initially did not believe the footprints belong to hominins. The conclusion was reached when he came back to the site in 2010 along with another Polish paleontologist, Grzegorz Niedzwidzki, one of the study’s authors.
